This tank has actually been in the game files for years. That's why the stats seem like they came off an older style tank like the IS5. First saw it around 6 or 7 years ago when I was going through the tanks that were in the game but not "in the game" just to see what might be coming soon.

Well you guys should realise by now Only USSR tanks gets to be balanced or OP while 1 of my favourite nation(british) gets tanks that aint even ordinary and underpowered.....caliban...gsor 1008....and new british that cant be a normal tank or a normal autoloader or even a normal auto reloader

I do agree with yiu though, cos these are a few tanks out of a whole tree, whereas Russian premiums could make a second tech tree
The Kirovets-1s turret is exactly the same as the stock turret on the IS-3 (even same name). Reason is, as some have already explained, that the Kirovets-1 (and the Obj. 703) are protoype versions of the IS-3
Had alot of good games with the IS-3 going down that line to get my Obj 277, which is still one of my favorite tanks in the game. It's got medium tank speed with decent heavy tank armor, decent side-scraper, small weak point on top of turret. Also the t-10 is just as fun as the obj 277, if you're top tier. Really fun line to play down if you haven't already
My good ol' IS-6 got once again even more outdated and outclassed... I'm used to it now and I rarely take this thing out of my garage, but I'll never sell it WG ! Never trade it either ! this is my most played tank, I have an history with it, and whatever new bullshlt you keep adding to the game won't make me give up on the IS-6 of my childhood ! (damn this game has been going for so long...)
This has been on WoT console for a while now and has been my all time favorite premium tank, the skinned version is called Scourge. Great mobility and phenomenal armor if used correctly, hull down and sidescrape to bait shots into your tracks and you can wear down even tier 10s
I think aiming device and stabilizer are absolute must-haves with this tank. For the 3rd slot, I would rotate between vents, optics, and turbo, depending on the map.
@@demonator65 facts over 25 k games on console, I’ve been playing wot on pc for like a year and half, all the tanks are better on pc version in my opinion, let’s just hope they don’t bring that auto loader rhm over from console, aka iron rain!! Things stupid!!!
Just my opinion but it'd probably be better seeing how you'd equip the tank without bond/bounty equipment & how it performs without them instead using normal equipment. Most players tend to keep the hard to get equipment like bond/bounty for tier 10s.
I got the tank, I have the IS-6 and another tier 8 Russian premium tank from the bond shop but they both struggle in the Meta now adays, so I'm looking forward to playing this tank.
After watching one of the WG videos, the improvements from rotation device is cancelled out by the improvement in rotation thus not actually improving the dispersion. Do beware of that
QuickyBaby, can you please make a video about the tank modules and internal structure of the top (random number.. 100, or tier 8-10) most popular tanks or incorporate more armor and module layout review so it is nice to learn not only the strengths of new tanks and tanks that you review, but also their weaknesses like ammo-rack locations, engine and fuel tank locations, crew locations, etc. for example for more effective shot placement decisions like where to aim to kill commander + gunner/loader from front/side, etc.
One thing: This tank is a chinese tank in WOT Blitz named WZ 112-2, I have it there and *it has a horrendous ammorack* most times when u get shot in the sides, its usually ur ammo rack damaged or even blown off if u are unlucky
This is a slightly of topic comment but i have a question regarding how you would play a stock tank compared to A fully upgraded one for example how you cope with bad gun performance in a non mobile tank like a heavy.
To be honest KRT-1 has been available in Chinese server for at least 6 years and barely anyone bought this tank because it was not competitive at all even 6 years ago… and now WG is releasing it globally without any buff just to fool players to pay for garbage lmao.
@@cloud_0_ If KRT-1 is balanced then IS-3 will be OP in my opinion. The derpy gun is similar to the one on IS-5 previous to recent buff. Also remember that DPM of KRT-1 is on the lower end of tier8 Russian heavies that are equipped with 122mm guns, which makes your gaming experience even worse.
This came up in my list in todays calendar event. It was 15,000,000 credits. If I didnt already have all the other Russian heavies (which I rarely play) I might have bought this.

Well, when you've said it yourself, technically the kirovets has been in the game longer than the 703 2 Strange they only added it to pc now though. On console we still only have is3a with an autoload not an autoreload which is frustrating. And still yet to hear about any double barrels
@@bozhidardimitrov3573 Just like console and it's cold war. Yeah we've just gotten wheelies, who cares right? I was tempted at one stage for pc, (more so for the map differences) but the market for premiums is so toxic. And I much prefer the earn ops on console for free tanks
QB can you please do showcases of tanks with more realist crew stats, as you always do them with max skills/perks which is between 7-14. Most people wont have that many skils or perks and shows the tank in a way alot people wont be able to play it.
A better comparison to this tank would be the 112. The 112 and the Kirovets are practically the same with only having some minor differences with the exception of pen. This will most likely not be the next meta premium tank as I ain't seeing many saying that the 112 is meta; But both tanks are still good.
I like the speed. I LOVE the SPEED of the ammo this tank uses. But for me, this tank is going to be a hard sell... I have the 703 - 2, and do not see a purpose for this tank. Thank You for the review, Quicky Baby !
If it’s better than something it’s OP, Russian bias, p2w, etc. if it’s better than nothing then the devs are stupid for creating something worthless. Stop thinking relative to things in this case - it’s a solid heavy tank at tier 8. Get it if you want it and have the gold, or don’t.
